My journey from RN to CRNA

A year in practice looking back

Rate this Entry
Wow....

So here I am a year since I have been in my practice. It is amazing just how differently I practice now since day 1. My comfort level is significantly higher as well. I would say I do almost nothing like what I did in training. Just some quick examples of that...

- Noone where i trained used ketamine, i use it all the time

- noone where I trained was comfortable with deep extubation, i do it all the time

- noone mixed drugs to get a better outcome, i do it all the time

- Everyone ordered diagnostics up the Wharton I order very little

Those are just a few things. Interesting how we change!

    ahhh... sleepwaker - you've come a long way. Remember things will continue to change if you continue to challenge the basic pharmacologically, physiologically for the things you do. Many students come to our clinical practice with preconceived notions... I love busting those ideas wide open. Studies show that many practicing healthcare providers continue to practice in the exact same manner as they day they graduated!!! Great to see you drag yourself out of that insanity.
